    Red Dot + Ruger Mini 14

    As stated, friend is having the identical issue with a new mini and factory pic rail. Ruger is sending another rail out so hopefully that does it.

    Red Dot + Ruger Mini 14

    I’m thinking maybe it is the rail, or even the receiver. You literally described the exact experience of a friend of mine and his new mini, he used the factory rail with a Holoson 507, bottomed it out and the dot is still way above the front sight.

    Hensoldt 4-16x56 FF LT H59 vs newer glass

    As stated already, you’re at the pinnacle of glass IQ, been there done that to many times, have every scope you’ve mentioned above and all are exceptional. Where the HSoldt separates is in black and white light, generally it’s better than anything you have listed above on average across a wide...

    Spotters Decent binoculars for PRS?

    Look on here, eBay, the other forums for a used Leica 10 or 12x50 bn/ba, or an older Ultravid or better yet a used Zeiss fl 10x42 or fl56, all of which are better than anything listed above and equal to the very best other than fov and ff designs. Finding them under 1k is easy if you’re not in...

    Rifle Scopes Best hunting scope around 3k

    That 20x mag drops down to 2.8 on the low, I was referring to the 2.8x20x56 if that helps clarify any confusion, I’ll be sure to spell it out next time. And I’m referring to the apparent fov which is the same regardless of what magnification you’re on unless it tunnels a bit at the very bottom...

    Rifle Scopes Best hunting scope around 3k

    Because the v8 as an hunting scope optically smokes the s5 imo, the bad apparent fov on the s5 is a definite no go on a 3k glass, for me anyway, and especially as a hunting scope.

    Rifle Scopes Best hunting scope around 3k

    I’d look for a good sample of a Zeiss v8 in the 20x or above, great illumination and as a hunting scope it’s better than anything listed above imo, by a solid margin, especially the 4.8x35x60, it’s a next level optic, again assuming you don’t get a bad sample.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender Polar/Ultra Bright

    I would think as many that use them that more would notice this, it’s been in most all the ones I’ve had over the years from classics, pm2’s, and zenith’s. As stated even many sub $500 scopes handle this better. I’m the ones I’ve had I t’s usually around 8x/10x and up to where the glare is so...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender Polar/Ultra Bright

    As to SB and the glare at power at or near dusk, most I’ve owned have had this problem, going all the way back to the mid 2000’s, anytime looking near the west at dusk, even indirectly, they have terrible glare at power, as in almost being unusable. This for me only happens on clear evenings and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 40 S&W over 41 Mag for Grizzly Bear Protection?

    40 to 41 mag pretty big jump. How much is your life worth. I wouldn't let the extra pound or so determine whats best for my safty. A heavy 41 250+ smokes a 40 or a 10mm but if you can't shoot it worth a dang take the biggest cal you can shoot well. Thing is you have to shoot anything to get...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Colt rail gun or Remington r1 carry.

    Gonna pick one of these 2 up. Does the r1 carry have as good of small parts as the colt. This is not the r1 enhanced it's the r1 carry. Just can't find much on it. Like the look though reminds me of a springer pro. I know it's an rail vs non rail but my buddy needs some cash. Gonna sell me one...

    Gunsmithing 338 Lapua and lug sheer

    Re: 338 Lapua and lug sheer Jerry, does a break take any pressure of the lugs as far as bolt thrust goes. Also actions like bat and nesika have their lugs go to the end of the bolt where as mcmillan like remington has shorter lugs, doesn't this also effect lug strength

    Gunsmithing 338 Lapua and lug sheer

    Re: 338 Lapua and lug sheer I would like to see specs from the companies as far as shear along with psi and bolt thrust so u could at least see where your safety margins are to at least have a guideline. BTW J Jones there is actually a thread on here where a guy sheared the a lug off a fn...

    Can some of u guys that are in the know help me with action strength, been hearing a lot lately about lug sheer on some of the bigger guns. Question is, what is a safe action as far as lug sheer for a 338 lapua. Is the big Weatherby safe with the 9 small lugs or is the REM700 and trg just as...

    Re: Strongest Lapua action 17-4 is what a lot of customs use like bat, mcmillan, hs and others. Thats what I would like to know, are the rem clones, mainly the Mcbros action or the BAT RL repeater action any stronger or better at high pressure loads than a carbon rem 700. Many good smiths...
